Bought OEM MB fire extinguisher for W126

Just lucked out and got this one for $50 - a period correct euro one

Amazingly, saw it on another forum I just happened to be looking at , and grabbed it with only 18 seconds left in the ebay auction.

mercedes original fire extinguisher - ShopForum

It looks like these can be picked up once in awhile. It feels like I was pretty lucky.

They are probably good accessories to have.

Does anyone around here have an idea of how they are installed in the W126?

They rest in a bracket which is fixed to the base of the front seat.

There has previously been discussion about which seat they were clipped to, with the outcome being either.

The extinguisher probably needs a test and recharge if it is original.

Congrats on the find.

Came across these pics of another car a while back. Don't know if the one depicted is OEM or period correct.

The extinguisher mounting bracket is mounted to the front of my driver's seat and my data card includes the option code for the fire extinguisher, but I haven't been as fortunate as you to find one.


.



Great find Cascade.
